take off the fuel pump cover in the trunk, then look in there for leaks. its the most common because theirs rubber hoses that are over 15 years old. hoses can crack and fittings can leak.
just fallow the leak to the highest spot. If you have to drop the tank, its really easy to do. 2 bolts that hold the straps on and away you go.

um yea you will lose some fuel but wont be extreme, probably max of 1/4 litter. just do it with the car off or else you will have problems. I think your safest bet is to change those hoses and clamps. then if it doesnt help, you know its the steel lines.

yeah its safe maybe ur tank is leaking. just make sure u have the tank supported when u take the straps off. if it has alot of gas in it try taking as much as u can out , makes it less heavy.
